The technology that must be present in a specifically designed, dedicated missile launch capable ship it is beyond comprehension that a story would have us believe somebody was "driving" the ship and was untrained!!!
The cockpit automation has to equal that of a modern day airliner....auto settings, auto alarms, anti collision, etc, etc.

Having said what I said in a previous post in this thread, given the sophistication of the cruise/navigation/mitigation systems there just has to be more to the story than is being released for public consumption.
